Table of Reference Standards

Table of Unknowns

Reflect

1. Compare and average the R_F values of each analyte across the entire class
2. Did you predict the number of spots that would appear from each analyte (reference or candy)?
3. Assuming all the dye molecules are of the same mass, what influenced the migration patterns of each spot?
4. Were the colors used in the candy the same as the references?
5. What does it mean if the candy color didn’t match anything from the food colors from the cake decorating set used as references?
